The 160-lap, 400-mile race on the 87-year-old 2½-mile oval race track will be run Saturday, Aug. 3, beginning at 12:15 p.m. local time (same as central daylight), telecast live by ABC Sports. The IMS Radio Network will again be carried on several hundred stations. Practice begins Wednesday, July 31, from 1-5 p.m. Thursday is Busch Pole qualifying (one lap) for starting spots 1- 25 at 1 p.m. after a two-hour morning practice from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Friday practice is 10-11:30 a.m. Second- round qualifying for positions 26-38 (positions 39-42 are provisional) is at 1 p.m., followed by NASCAR's one-hour final practice. Inaugural Brickyard 400 winner Jeff Gordon came back in 1995 to win the Busch Pole Award as the fastest first-day qualifier. Rick Mast was the Busch Pole Winner at the inaugural Brickyard in 1994. Dale Earnhardt, who won his seventh Winston Cup Championship in 1994, won the 1995 Brickyard 400 while Gordon, from nearby Pittsboro, Ind., went on to win his first Winston Cup Championship in 1995. Gordon's Busch Pole speed last year was a track record 172.536 miles per hour. (52.163 seconds). Second-round qualifying in 1995 was rained out, and Saturday's race was delayed more than four hours by rain, finally getting underway at 4:30 p.m.
